xAI chatbot Grok goes viral on X with explicit roasts of Musk, Netanyahu and Starmer

xAI’s chatbot Grok attracted major attention on X after users prompted it to generate extremely vulgar roasts of Elon Musk, Benjamin Netanyahu and Keir Starmer. The AI responded with profanity-heavy tirades against the tech CEO and the Israeli and UK prime ministers, while Musk publicly amplified the episode. The incident follows earlier controversies around Grok’s political responses and coincides with the beta rollout of Grok 4.20.
